Chapter 123 Who gave you the right to portray our family as cannon fodder?
She felt a slight pain after taking the Di Mai Dan, and the pain intensified as she circulated her internal energy. She gritted her teeth and persevered, repeating the process again and again. By the fifth repetition, the pain gradually lessened, and by the ninth repetition, she could feel no pain at all.
Looking outside, it was only a little past one in the morning. Her clothes were soaked through and then dried. She quickly went to the stream to take a bath and change her clothes, and then washed her old clothes.
She cultivated in the space for nearly 24 hours, while the outside time was only a little over two hours. If her family members were to use this elixir, they would have to find a suitable excuse to ask for leave for a day or two and not go out.
Tong Yuheng felt energetic and not sleepy at all. He took out a bone-strengthening pill and swallowed it. This medicine was consumed in large quantities; one pill could be taken once a month to strengthen muscles and bones and increase the body's resilience and endurance.
This is also the easiest to refine and the easiest to find among the basic auxiliary medicines. Hopefully, she'll have a suitable opportunity to go to Heilongjiang Province to see if she can buy some tiger bones to use in the medicine. She also asked Li Chengsong to keep an eye out for ingredients not listed in the prescription.
Two days ago, Li Chengsong came over and talked about his friend Zheng Yunqing. He was being harassed by a scheming woman, and after investigating, Grandpa Zheng said it was her classmate Fan Yaqing.
She also mentioned that she is now in close contact with Zhang Shaojie, the director of the steel plant's G committee, and that he reminded her to be careful, recalling the Fan family's ill intentions towards the Tong family during his previous investigation.
Tong Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle. Zheng Yunqing was only entangled with Fan Yaqing because he had casually mentioned that someone had introduced her to a young man surnamed Zheng in the compound, which had caught Fan Yaqing's attention. Even that love-struck Zhang Minghai was implicated in this matter.
That's why she kindly dragged him to see Fan Yaqing's true colors. She thought that coward would report her, but he got scared and ran away, not even daring to stay in Yan City anymore.
The appearance of Tong Yuheng freed the original novel's backup suitors from their predetermined fate, but new backup suitors still fell into the heroine's trap.
The will of this world in the book really spoils the female lead! If you were to favor a woman with even a slightly kind heart, I, as a transmigrator, could perhaps lend you a hand and make her life a little easier. Now, all I can do is make her run into obstacles everywhere, have everything go wrong, and wear down her luck.
Who told the author to portray my family as cannon fodder? Did you even ask me about that?
So what if it's a world in a book? In my eyes, this is the real world. Why should I be cannon fodder? I curse the author of this book to have bad luck and misfortune in another world!
If you can't write books, go do something else! Don't ruin people's values and let those selfish, scheming women take advantage of everyone! From now on, I'll write the Tong family's story for you. If you don't completely distort the original plot, I'm not Tong!
Li Chengsong also mentioned that his friend seemed to be being watched by some powerful figure and hadn't dared to go out these days. The situation in Yan City is getting increasingly tense.
Tong Yuheng realized that Han Yingshan must be the one eyeing Zheng Yunqing, so he couldn't sell him the pills anymore. He'd have to get him some self-defense powder when he had the chance; Zheng Yunqing was completely implicated because of him.
"Li Chengsong, do you know anything about the ancient martial arts world?" Tong Yuheng asked directly, hoping to get some information about the ancient martial arts world from him.
"How do you know about the ancient martial arts world?" Li Chengsong asked, somewhat surprised. Ordinary people have no contact with them; those people and their families have their own set of rules and don't interfere in the lives of ordinary people.
"My dad once mentioned that when he was in the army, by chance, someone who knew ancient martial arts taught him some things." Tong Yuheng used Tong Linsheng, who had already become a martyr, as a shield.
"Are the punches and kicks you practiced ancient martial arts?" Li Chengsong's eyes gleamed.
His grandfather also received some guidance from an ancient martial arts master when he was young, which enabled him to develop excellent skills. He survived several life-or-death battles and achieved his current success.
"I guess so, but I've never been in contact with anyone from that circle, and I don't know anything about the rules of the ancient martial arts world. Hearing you say that makes me a little worried. When my dad was alive, he only taught me. After he passed away, I was afraid they would be bullied, so I taught my younger sisters."
If Tong Yuheng wanted to know about the world of ancient martial arts, she needed to lay the groundwork with her skills. Grandpa Li's position made it easy for her to access that level. She wanted to learn about the rules and regulations through Grandpa Li, trying her best not to violate their taboos.
She has too many good things; she absolutely cannot reveal her spatial abilities and her cultivation techniques. It seems my family will have to stay in the countryside for the rest of the years. How can we safely get through these next few years of growth?
"Don't worry, they won't bother ordinary people. How about I ask Grandpa if he knows about these things?" Li Chensong reassured her, implying that she wasn't involved with that group yet and was considered an ordinary person.
"Could you ask them what taboos and rules they have? Also, how do they resolve conflicts between themselves?"
Li Chengsong took it very seriously. He used his military superior's phone to call his grandfather, his intuition telling him that Tong Yuheng knew more than just a little bit of ancient martial arts. Had she encountered those people and even had a conflict with them?
Tong Yuheng: You're really perceptive. You were being watched, and someone even drugged you? I wonder if that person was actually knocked out. Does this person have really offended you to death?
Li Chengsong earnestly inquired about some matters concerning the ancient martial arts world from his grandfather, and also mentioned Tong Yuheng's concerns and the origin of the kung fu she had learned.
Grandpa Li explained some of the rules in that circle that he knew, which greatly shocked Li Chengsong!
Can they challenge each other to fight to the death? Can they settle scores without restraint from worldly laws? Aren't they just a bunch of destabilizing elements, lawless madmen?
"It's not that serious. Most people don't bully the weak or kill innocent people indiscriminately. They also made contributions in the process of resisting invasion. Almost every time a powerful enemy attacked, there were ancient martial arts practitioners who devoted themselves to the great cause of protecting their homes and country..." Grandpa Li explained.
"But this won't do either. How can we let them develop like this? The country should not allow people who are not bound by the law to exist, no matter who they are!"
"These people are so skilled in combat. If they were to unite and fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't the destructive power be enormous?" Li Chengsong couldn't understand.
"They have existed for hundreds of years, but have declined considerably. The state allows them to act according to their own rules within certain limits, so there must be a reason for it. You are not at that level, so naturally you cannot understand these things. The world is not black and white."
Your concerns are certainly valid, so the authorities are actively guiding them to transform into a force for protecting the country, ensuring that these martial arts practitioners abide by the law and serve the nation…”
